i\’d like to see a more european style league format with regard to relegation. instead of adding expansion franchises, i think quality USL teams should have the opportunity to jump up to MLS and vice versa. it would make watching USL a little more interesting and would make a match like RSL v Col. etc. a little more entertaining to know something is on the line for both clubs. is there any possibility of this ever coming to fruition?
